CMC Students Who Blockaded Heather MacDonald Talk Sanctioned With Suspensions, Probation

Clearly the first amendment includes not only the right to free speech, but also to peaceably assemble. There is a right to “hear someone speak”.

CMC being private or public, has nothing to do with this, the same issues would have been raised if the speech was at UCLA.

I thought that was the case until I took a class on constitutional law.
